of course they will learn it, god is a simple concept

the specifics of each religion is not useful information that needs to be learned however


Knowing the specifics of each religion is EXTREMELY important in the modern global society and ignorance of the Bible, Quran, etc. only feed into religious problems.

you keep repeating this nonsense as if it's true

considering the vast majority of atheists come from religious households i'm guessing your claim is that if they left christianity they clearly didn't understand it?
as opposed to say understanding it to be the nonsense that it is and that being the reason they left it - but that can't possibly be it right?
again, everthing you've mentioned, christian parents do when islam gets brought up for discussion



No. They bash it in ways that show a clear lack of understanding. You argue with them in a way that shows a clear lack of understanding. Every time one of you speak to Widow or Icemage, it is shown you have a clear lack of understanding.
It's like it's impossible for you to even comprehend what they say, or to respond appropriately.
You don't really encourage people to try and gain more knowledge on the subject, or to view it from different angles, you all just pat eachother on the back and encourage one another to stay stuck in your ways.

Raising a child without ever even mentioning religion and them having to learn that most of the world believes in this thing they've never heard of does not sound like good education.


also that

and no one knows the specifics of other religions today yet we seem to be doing alright

not knowing about the hadith but doesn't exactly change much with regards to your relation to muslims

let's keep it real pls

there's a reason you only know a few of them

9 out of 10 times you share your parents religion


yes, atheism included.

supposing this does happen in the future, this would be different from what religious folks do with their children now how?

also you make it sound like being raised in a household where ancient mythology doesn't get brought up is a bad thing


It wouldn't, that's the point. You think teaching children about religion is wrong. The Chiricahua think teaching children not to murder people and steal their horses is wrong. What makes your opinion better than theirs?

at no point in time have i seriously claimed to be knowledgeable on the bible nor do i engage in serious discussions on the subject matter within

i just mess with those that use the bible as justification in place of sound rationale arguments for some of the most oppressive/discriminatory beliefs they have while claiming a moral highground, i have a strong dislike of such people

if they release an audible version of the bible read by morgan freeman i may pick it up
